Chapter 54 covers man-made filament yarns, including synthetic filament yarns and artificial filament yarns, as well as yarns and woven fabrics made from these filaments. This chapter mainly includes synthetic filament yarns such as polyester, nylon, and polyacrylonitrile, as well as artificial filament yarns such as viscose and acetate. However, this chapter does not include synthetic staple fibers (Chapter 55) or wadding, felt, etc. made from man-made filament yarns (Chapter 56). Heading 5407 covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics made from pure or blended synthetic filament yarns such as polyester, nylon, and polyacrylonitrile. However, it does not include knitted or crocheted fabrics (Chapter 60) or special woven fabrics such as narrow fabrics and pile fabrics (Chapter 58). Under this heading, further subdivision is based on fiber type, processing method, yarn type, etc. The first 2 digits 54: indicates Chapter 54, man-made filament yarns. Digits 3-4, 07: indicates heading 5407, namely woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. Digits 5-6, 53: indicates subheading 540753, specifically yarn-dyed woven fabrics of polyester textured yarn, containing >=85% polyester. Among these, the 5th digit 5 indicates woven fabrics of polyester textured yarn, and the 6th digit 3 indicates yarn-dyed. The complete code 540753 refers to yarn-dyed woven fabrics containing >=85% by weight of polyester textured yarn. This product is a yarn-dyed woven fabric of polyester textured yarn with polyester content >=85%, which conforms to the description of subheading 540753. It is different from 540751 (unbleached or bleached), 540752 (dyed), and 540754 (printed), and also different from 540761 (containing >=85% non-textured polyester yarn). Therefore, it is classified under 540753.

🎯 Classification Logic
Core basis for classification: 1. Fiber type is polyester; 2. Yarn type is textured yarn; 3. Polyester content is >=85%; 4. Dyeing and finishing method is yarn-dyed; 5. Weaving method is woven. Only when all these conditions are met can it be classified under 540753. 540751 Unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of polyester textured yarn: The dyeing and finishing method is different; 540751 is unbleached or bleached, while 540753 is yarn-dyed. 540752 Dyed woven fabrics of polyester textured yarn: 540752 is dyed (piece-dyed), while 540753 is yarn-dyed (yarn dyeing). 540754 Printed woven fabrics of polyester textured yarn: 540754 is printed, while 540753 is yarn-dyed. 540761 Woven fabrics containing >=85% non-textured polyester yarn: The yarn type is different; 540761 is non-textured yarn, while 540753 is textured yarn. Is the polyester content >=85%? Is the yarn textured yarn? Is the dyeing and finishing method yarn-dyed? Is the weaving method woven? Does it not belong to knitted or crocheted fabrics?

❓ FAQ
How can polyester textured yarn and ordinary polyester filament be distinguished? Textured yarn has undergone texturing processing and has characteristics such as bulkiness and elasticity, while ordinary filament does not. They can be distinguished by yarn appearance, elastic recovery, etc., or by checking the specification sheet provided by the supplier. What is the difference between yarn-dyed and dyed? Yarn-dyed means the yarn is dyed first and then woven, while dyed means the woven fabric is dyed. Yarn-dyed fabrics usually have richer color effects, but the cost is higher. If the polyester content is less than 85%, which code should it be classified under? If the polyester content is less than 85% but it is mainly blended with cotton, it may be classified under 5514, etc.; if it is blended with other man-made fibers, it should be classified under the corresponding subheading according to the specific composition. In what fields can fabrics under 540753 be used? They are often used in clothing (such as shirts and skirts), home textiles (such as curtains and bedding), etc. Because of their yarn-dyed effect and polyester characteristics, they have good color fastness and wrinkle resistance. Is a test report required when declaring? Customs may require a composition test report to prove polyester content and yarn type. It is recommended to prepare it in advance. How can the tariff rate for 540753 be checked? You can log on to the website of the General Administration of Customs of China or use the customs tariff inquiry tool, enter code 540753, and check the most-favored-nation rate, general rate, etc. Rates may change, and the latest announcement shall prevail. If the fabric undergoes special finishing (such as waterproofing), does it affect classification? Generally it does not, unless the finishing causes the fabric to have characteristics of other chapters (such as coating). If it is only ordinary finishing, it is still classified under 540753. What is the difference between 540753 and 540743? 540743 is yarn-dyed woven fabric of polyester textured yarn, but the polyester content is <85%, usually blended with other fibers; 540753 requires polyester >=85%.
